| List two possible IMMEDIATE complications of the tracheostomy procedure? | Bleeding- major hazard Pneumothorax |
| List two possible LATE complications of the tracheostomy procedure? | Infection Hemorrhage |
| Under what circumstances should the tracheostomy tube cuff be INFLATED? | The PT is eating PT is on positive pressure ventilation |
| What does it mean if the therapist recommend a fenestrated tracheostomy tube? | Used for weaning and temporary mechanical ventilation with inner cannula |
| Briefly describe the features of a standard tracheostomy tube. | White plastic trach tube May have an inner cannula for easy cleaning Has a soft cuff |
| What is the purpose of the TRACHEAL BUTTON? | Used to maintain stoma, Use in some PT with sleep apnea, Allows tracheal suction and phonation with least amount of airway resistance, |
| When using tracheal speaking valve, the tracheostomy tube cuff must be? | Cuff must be deflated |
| Describe the steps necessary for performing tracheostomy care? | Suction the PT to ensure airway is patent, Clean the inner cannula, clean the stoma site, change trach ties, replace inner cannula, reassess PT & record the procdure |
| In what circumstances is an extended tracheostomy tube indicated? | for PT who are obese or use cervical |
| After a Laryngectomy procedure the PT will no longer have a connection between? | No longer any connection between the PT UPPER and LOWER respiratory tract |

| Prone | PT lying face down |
| Supine | PT lying on spine (best for post-craniotomy PT) |
